What I Really Need Is…..

I went to a networking event on Tuesday and the DJ was playing really good house music. I couldn’t stop dancing.  A young lady told me that I need to get out more. While that’s probably true, what I really need is a consistent cash flow so I can dance on an island with a [...]

I’m Going to Stop Listening to People for the Rest of the Year

Everyone has opinions.  Which is cool.  I’m open to learning.  But when I’m so close  to my goal and you try to inject your opinion into what I should do, I have a problem.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m so open to learning that people should be paying me to educate me (I’m such a [...]

Shorty’s Progress

My interview with Chaka Khan is the cover story for N’Digo this week.  Check it out here. I am having the hardest time getting my book published from Blogapalooza.  There is always some technical glitch.  If I just knew I wasn’t close to where God would have me to be, I would probably freak out.  [...]

Why People Can’t Progress Financially

I picked up a friend yesterday who was experiencing car troubles.  While driving home, he said that he was almost finished paying off two car notes, which I thought was a great blessing.  He then said, “I might buy that truck I want.”  I wanted to come to a screeching halt like Fred Flinstone and [...]

Price vs. Value

I was having a conflict about what to charge for my blogging service.  Initially, I was setting my rates according to other people’s opinions about the economy.  That was not good.  I was going to charge at least $25 per hour less than what I really wanted to get paid. Fortunately,  I met with Lester [...]

Gotta Stop Cursing

I told my little sister I would stop cursing, but I really don’t want to right now. But I will. I have to be a positive role model. And, if I hear her cursing I am almost certain I will be on channels 2,5,7,9 and FOX because old school traditions will kick in. So, to [...]

I’m Learning How & When to Speak Up

There was a conversation I needed to have that stressed me out for a couple months.  The emotions were high because it was someone really close to me.  It turned out OK. After that conversation, I’m finding it very easy to say what I need to say to other people.  Not that it is disrespectful; [...]

Things I Hate

I hate when people argue with me about things I know that are absolutely true. I hate when people tell me things about me even though they have not a clue about me or what I do. I hate the parking meters in Chicago. I hate the low status of black people in America even [...]
